Micronutrients and Alzheimer's disease.
The current high life expectancy is overshadowed by neurodegenerative illnesses that lead to dementia and dependence.

Major factors involved are oxidative stress, perturbed Ca homeostasis and impaired...
متن کاملMicronutrients in health and disease.
Micronutrients play a central part in metabolism and in the maintenance of tissue function. An adequate intake therefore is necessary, but provision of excess supplements to people who do not need them may be harmful. Single micronutrient deficiency states are comparatively easily recognised and treated. Subclinical deficiency, often of multiple micronutrients, is more difficult to recognise, a...

With regard to environmental risk factors, there has been significant interest related to the role of diet, nutrition, and nutrients on the o...
متن کاملEscherichia Coli in Diarrheal Disease
Transmission is by the fecal-oral route. Pili (fimbriae) allow the bacteria to colonize the ileal mucosa. Cytotonic enterotoxins (encoded on plasmid or bacteriophage DNA) induce watery diarrhea. Plasmid-encoded invasion factors permit invasion of the mucosa, and plasmidor bacteriophage-encoded cytotoxic enterotoxins induce tissue damage; the presence of either of these factors induces a host in...
